A new NHS dental practice has officially opened in south Essex, bringing a significant boost to dental care access across Thurrock.
Grays Dental Care, delivered by Dentistry for You in partnership with NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board, features five modern surgeries and two new dentists.
The site is expected to deliver 5,000 NHS dental units in its first year, increasing to 10,000 annually.
Located on Milton Road, the practice aims to tackle long-standing shortages in local NHS dentistry.
